How To Make Realistic Pine Trees For Terrain Scenery

[@jamesnoble2753]

The most realistic trees I have seen in over 50 years of modelling.Truly stunning.

[@alcovitch]

Thats because they are basically real trees. Everything they are made with is real plant lol.

[@jamesc.2054]

Without a doubt this is the the most realistic method I've come across. I learned the nigh-perfect Canyon Creek method for creating ultra realistic pines, and this actually produced better results. Well done.

[@anders3322]

Wow, that is probably the first time I’ve seen model pine trees made properly! Very well done! The last pictures really make the colours pop!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much that is nice to hear!

[@mestapho2011]

Congratulations you win. I have viewed 50+ vids how to make pines and you sir have the best looking of the bunch. thank you very much for sharing your craft.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and you're very welcome.

[@michaelw24401]

Astounding! This is not a model, this is art! Your video is inscrutable, the pace is perfect, transitions flawless, completely inclusive information, all products identified with voice-over and text. Only thing I would have liked to have seen is a 360 in natural sunlight. Inspirational! Thank you.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you, nice to hear and you're very welcome.

[@wolfpack4694]

Impressive, not only from an attention-to-detail point of view, but also from the process and patience point of view.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you glad you liked it. Cheers.

[@RollforDamageRFD]

You sir are a master at your craft. I strive to get at your level with mine.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you that is nice to hear!

[@Galv1nBass]

Bizar hoeveel tijd in zo’n boompje zit. Respect!

[@bigbossignition]

The tea strainer technique is ingenious!

[@federicanardi7227]

papercuts is here again!!!!!!!! welcome back! so happy to watch this video!! thank you! your works are my favourite on KZbin!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you that's nice to hear! Cheers ;)

[@leonardocastro4354]

From all techniques I've seen so far, this is the one that provides the most realistic results. Great job!

[@Dz1adz1oSamoZlo]

That's very realistic, you really could't tell a difference. I am really jealous of your skills. Can't wait to see more of your work.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks glad you liked it!

[@TheRunesmythe]

As usual, your work does not disappoint; they look so much like the real thing its incredible.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you nice to hear!

[@MenricJJones]

Phenomenal work, the use of the asparagus fern is brilliant

[@barrysmith8193]

Excellent resource demonstration for my layout intent. I’m working on a modest size of the highest level of authenticity. Logging in the deep woods in the early 1900’s. Many thanks.

[@wingchun3317]

Best !!!!! Tree making video I've seen by far great work sir!!

[@Allen2saint]

Wow you are the master. Amazing.

[@starseed10105]

Your trees look so real. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@sayjay198080]

So happy you're back! I like your scenery the best over all. In most cases it has the most natural look. I would love to see a meadow type set up with flowers and tall grasses.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you that's nice to hear! That is a great idea i'll add it to my list ;)

[@davidbarthel5664]

So happy to hear from you. Your presentation and explanation is allways so soothing. Greetings from germany.

[@spatzentoeter7777]

David Barthel Hätte nicht gedacht hier noch nen deutschen anzutreffen

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

This is the best best BEST! Tutorial ever! GREAT JOB!

[@brigandboy1425]

Man... I was thinking of doing a volcanic basing/diorama for my next army, but... after seeing this, I might have to do an evergreen forest instead. This is gorgeous work.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you great to hear that, have fun on the build. Cheers.

[@ACL2591]

My mind's officially blown! This is incredible and something to aspire to!

[@Paepercuts]

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you nice to hear!

[@King0ffa]

Came across your channel a couple of days ago and have learned so much already! You Sir deserve many more subscribers. Please keep the videos coming :-)

[@themessy001]

Wow the time and care you put into making these...amazing job. I really love the pigment/strainer/airbrush technique.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you glad you found it useful!

[@merrick7784]

I used to like my gaming board builds... now I feel like a hack. Amazing work! Thank you for sharing.

[@Paepercuts]

You're very welcome and thanks!

[@snaxx6316]

I haven’t seen this video lol. It’s pretty recent. I’ve been waiting for you to make another video I love your work. I’m the one that requested the desert haha. Watching your content is so entertaining. You are truly a talented person.

[@crapphone7744]

Stunned. So Good..

[@julieshepherdson2681]

Fantastic using the asparagus fern, love using foliage from my garden.

[@JerryH171]

Absolutely awesome tutorial, love your attention to detail and realism.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you good to hear!

[@pontepretano2011]

This is absolutely fantastic. You are extremely talented and I will be trying to recreate many of your techniques in my next diarama.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you great to hear that. Good luck and have fun with the hobby.

[@Tamperkele]

Bruh... That tea strainer with the air brush is some next level stuff I wasn't prepared for.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

It amazes me how you came up with this idea, and wonder how many times you tried and failed with other things you tried. Thanks for sharing.

[@florian4835]

If building Dioramas were a Oympic Discipline, the Gold Medal would not be a adequate Award for this!! You deserve the GOD Medal! Your Work ist awesome and very inspirating. Please keep on creating this Art!

[@Paepercuts]

Happy to hear that, thanks so much!

[@thebigtricky9156]

its incredibly artsistic, hugley detailed. I couldint achieve this however due to lack of funds. but great ideas along the way. loved that licon idea.

[@kevinhovivian1121]

Still amazed by your work... It looks so real... And also, your videos are mesmerizing. Great idea to give the references of the used materials (and the shops) alongside the tutos.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks good to hear!

[@beckyforbis4858]

Incredible work, it’s beautiful 😊

[@denisnicholls6945]

The best looking trees Iv'e ever seen

[@byrnespeed]

Very Nice video. I use Asparagus Ferns as well for my military diorama. Nothing beats that to simulate pine trees. I find it funny those who cut foam that's probably more expensive than the plant itself. And the regroth rate if well nourished is a fast healing fern. I was wondering why do you use TS propellant cans instead of your airbrush to modulate the colors of your ferns. Can cost vs 17ml Vallejo or AMMO or Tamiya acrylic bottles??? Can you clarify on this please??

[@Paepercuts]

Good question, i did a lot of experimenting before i decided to go with this method. When the plants come out of the glycerin, they are slightly oily and have a waxed feel to them. I decided to go with spraycans because this has a much better grip and really bites into the surface, as opposed to acrylics. It also strengthens the leaves much better. I often go over the surface with the airbrush to shade them, but only after i added a layer of spraypaint. It acts as a buffer for the acrylics to attach onto. I have done it a few times with acrylic ink straight over the preserved plants, but i found they dry out more and change color/ yellow more over the course of months, depending on warm weather. I use Tamiya because i was unable to find a solid Matt color spraypaint in cheap brands in my country, all of them were gloss green for some reason. Hope that helps good luck with your dio's, cheers!

[@fang3090]

Long time no see Paepercuts.Yet another wonderfull pice of work you made and it could make some prety good forest or dinosaur diorama if I do say so my self.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and great idea!

[@fang3090]

Paepercuts No problem.And no joke the habitats you make go realy well with Rebors dinosaurs and The Beasts of the Mesozoic raptors.

[@Yashu1105]

That's incredible 😍 amazing work.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you glad you liked it. Cheers.

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Dried jungle vines! I'll just pop into Aldi on my way home and pick some up! 😊😀

[@Paepercuts]

Hahaha nice! ;)

[@amlolover5857]

Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful talents I have built a miniature bird house that needs exactly one of your realistic Douglas fir tree You are definitely a true artist I wonder if I could purchase a few trees from you ? I am in Portland Oregon Thank you very much

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks so much happy to hear that! I unfortunately can't help with your request, the problem is US customs won't accept these natural materials because they consider it flammable material and possibly invasive species. Thanks for watching cheers!

[@rrl4245]

Thanks. Great work and great video as well.

[@magikdust2095]

Great job, the trees look great. I would've liked to see alot more of you putting them on the tree trunks though. Great video 👍

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks great to hear that. I probably decided to cut most of that footage out since it's pretty Treedious ( Badum Tsjjjj ) Cheers.

[@craftlikeaduck]

Best trees 🌲 by far thanks for sharing all you info.

[@ianr94]

Always amazed at your ceations

[@Paepercuts]

Good to hear! You can do it

[@nataliejohnson5265]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@liamlepocher7540]

keep up the amazing work!

[@Paepercuts]

Cheers!

[@dedeturner9643]

Does the absorbed glycerin help keep it from molding? Or will it eventually yellow and mold? Thank you for the wonderful video!!!!!

[@Paepercuts]

The point is that the glycerine replaces the water, the water evaporates. It won't mold unless there is still water in the leaves when you spraypaint them, give them a few days to dry first. The leaves will yellow but that is where the spraypaint comes in. It takes some experimenting but the results are well worth it imo, the same batch of trees still stands today in my cabinet. Cheers and have fun!

[@pedaleurdecharme1023]

Heel mooi en makkelijker te bewerken dan een boom van ijzerdraad. Waarom bewerk je de top met plamuur en tegelpoeder?

[@Paepercuts]

De plamuur gebruik ik om gaten op te vullen, het voegmiddel om een fijne textuur aan te brengen zodat het wat beter 'blend' met de textuur van de boomschors. Bedankt voor het kijken!

[@DanielFerreira-ub2hl]

Absolutelly fantastic.

[@MrMadenuff]

Very well explained, thank you.

[@timothybeebe6382]

You are an amazing artist

[@Paepercuts]

Excellent job!

Thank you!

[@gavfishergav-lar3088]

Using the tea strainer was actual genius.

[@santiagomunoz6572]

That's an incredible work. But if I havent got some glycerine, dude I can do the branches for the trees. Can you offer another options?

[@trondatleolsen245]

Great trees!! 👍👍

[@Paintchantress]

Good to note - this plant also goes by the name plumosa, and is very common as a cut greenery! Should be easy to find from any florist, and is usually relatively cheap and comes in large bunches. :)

[@pierre-olivierjanelle3413]

Amazing trees I’m wondering where to buy the dried jungle vines.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks. I found them at a local garden centre, they are a bit tricky to find i'm still looking for an ( international ) supplier. Cheers.
